Black Iron Magician ~ Training Story of the Untalented Disciple ~

- Day 54 of training.

We went wild in the nest of Whitebuster Bear and the night dawned. The sky is clear by the time it is clear. Today is a great climbing day with no clouds, as if yesterday's blizzard was a lie. The blue of the sky and the light of the sun add up to the view that was only white, making me feel a little playful mountain.

"Hmm..."

"That's good," he said. Yona, it's time to leave. What's wrong? Rarely bored?

As Chinatsu was packing his bags and preparing to leave, Yuna, leaning her neck looking out into the sky, caught her eye. If it is always, it is something that even a light muscle tread seems to do...... and Chinatsu questions.

"Ah, Chinatsu. Last night, I felt like I was crying for someone else's help. Did Chinatsu sound like you?

"Someone's voice? Yeah, well, don't you mean me or Zeta's bedtime?

"Yeah, probably a man's voice. You think that looked pretty much like your master, too. Chinatsu's 'shelter' skills, have you had any reaction?

"I'm basically the only one eligible for this skill, so it's a bit until something happened to Mr. Derris..."

"Oh well. Um, I don't know if we can help."

"Thank you for waiting, Mr. Chinatsu, Mr. Harna.... Is that it? Can I help you?

From behind the cave, Zeta shows up ready to leave. After waking up in the morning, the three of them had made simple graves for the sacrificed people and monsters, as well as for the bear parents and children, in the deepest room of the nest. Zeta was giving her last greeting to the tomb, following the lessons of the village where she was born and raised.

"No, I'm sure my master will be fine because I don't think he will die easily!

"Huh? Oh, you know, I'm not sure how the story goes... is it serious?

"Don't think too deeply, Mr. Zeta. Probably because it's Yuna's thoughts."

Whether or not Derris' life or death was overwhelming, Yoonas was able to gradually leave the cave. The journey from there is relatively short, as it originally came near the abandoned village, which is the destination.

Along the way, you can climb the mountain for an hour while hunting for unfortunate carnivorous monsters that, as you can see, strike Yoonada. An unfamiliar shape begins to appear in the footprints printed on the pure white campus. It seems that someone in the human form left it behind, but it didn't mimic the shape of the sole.

"Is it a trace left by the white monkey? Just the footprint, that's quite a size. 40...... no, it looks like it's 50 cm"

"Wow, it's more than double my leg. It's like Bigfoot."

That huge footprint is heading in a certain direction. This toe was also aimed at by Yoonas. Clogged, the white monkey headed to the abandoned village.

"It must belong to the white monkey. Memories are frivolous, but it looks like it was roughly this size."

"Copy that. Head to the village while you're on perimeter alert. Yona, based on the prohibition, be careful not to step forward."

"Ok, don't let Chinatsu use magic by mistake."

Follow the trail further ahead. Then, now a wooden fence, apparently thought to have been made by man, followed by a gate assembled with three wooden columns, came into view. The footprints of the white monkey dive through its gates and continue even further.

"... Zeta."

"Yeah, that's the entrance to the village. There was a fence beside that gate that encircled the village... but it must have been pushed down by repeated heavy snow, or destroyed by monsters, leaving only doorless gates."

"You've got snow all the way up to a third of the height of the gate. Then it might be hard to walk into the village."

"I mean, the white monkeys used to walk without sinking on the snow... is that the kind of skill you have?

The footprints that the white monkeys supposedly made are all to the point of sinking a few centimeters of snow. I don't see any signs of being taken off my leg by the weight of my body.

"Shall we jump and go so that the snow doesn't take our feet off? If you could get to the top of that gate, you would have a panoramic view of the village, and there should have been a roof of the house and trees just right up ahead.... Uh, is it going to arrive?

"I have an 'empty kick', so it's not a problem at all."

"If that's the way it is, I'm likely to manage to reach it with a leap without help, too. So let's go."

"It's a decision. Okay, I'll be ahead of you."

Zeta leaps big as she attaches her right hand to the pattern of the big sword on her back. We jumped to the mountains, so at the highest point we reached far higher than the gate. That's why at this point Zeta figured out what the abandoned village was in.

- Tons.

Killed the impact, a landing so quiet that I don't think of it as a metal prosthetic leg. Then Zeta doesn't move from the spot and tries to see what's going on.... This didn't make any changes like the monster making a scene.

(Move quietly, without making any noise)

You decided it was safe, and Zeta gave instructions to Yoonas with a hand sign to come over the gate. Yuna and Chinatsu nodded at this and jumped on the spot. Like Zeta, it arrives above the gate with exquisite force.

(That, no monsters? Are those footprints still uninterrupted?

(A seemingly deserted abandoned village of desertion...... but what is it? I'm not sure where it is, but the unpleasant feeling comes from around there)

As Yuna and Chinatsu thought, there were no shadows or shapes of monsters in the village. The only clue, the huge footprint, has also been neglected and interrupted near the centre of the village. No footprints like that were seen anywhere else, with clean snow.

"... if you whisper, you don't seem to have a problem. Investigate across heights, as planned. I feel suspicious on the ground."

"That footprint, it's unnatural, no matter how you look at it. My perceptive skills aren't working down there, either."

"Hmm."

"Uh, Yoona? Why are you looking so good at this?

Yuna stands up softly as everyone kneels down and lurks. Are you up to something, wandering your hip pouch?

"This is the time for me. Whatever you say, I'm a wizard."

What Yona held in her hand with a smile was a heavy-duty iron sphere. At least, it's not something a normal wizard holds with one hand.

"Mr. Zeta. Ruins and all that, maybe it'll break. Still no problem?

"... Roger that. No one lives here anymore, and do it all you want. Mr. Chinatsu, let's get ready for the melee."

"Uh, I see... it's pretty powerful, but it's probably the shortest way to lure them out. Yona, Zeta says yes, but don't calculate the power properly. Because if there's an aftermath to this scaffold, it's tragic."

"Rikai! Infuse plenty of Worth Vishate!

Black and evil magic gathers all over Yuna's iron sphere. Meet at Dark Magic Level 100, Worth Vishate is the magic that brings poison that Yoona specializes in. Yuna was now trying to play the throwing form while simultaneously pushing this magic into the iron sphere to its limit and fulfilling her true self as a wizard.

"One ball into the soul, I'm going!
